{"We can still be friends!" - LL 💔}

"GRIAN!"

Grian fell, falling off the ghast farm, an arrow piercing his body. Mumbo tried to warn Grian, but he was too late, and Joel had killed him first. Laughing, Joel gave a sinister smile to Mumbo, before running off.

Grian was now a red name.

Mumbo stood at the place were the arrow pierced through Grian's heart. Blood was splattered on the ground, and Mumbo didn't notice the ghast that had spawned behind him. Turning around, he saw the fireball heading towards him, and he deflected it with his sword, hitting the ghast and killing it.

Oh well, at least the farm is working.

Mumbo slowly started to walk away and head back to the portal to go back into the overworld, until he saw a familiar blonde making his way up the ladder. Backing away, Mumbo saw who it was.

It was Grian.

Grian chuckled, his red eyes showing nothing but a desire to kill. His pickaxe in hand, Grian took a moment to steady himself, his red eyes never leaving Mumbo's yellow eyes.

"So - uh - Grian.... You're a red name now.." Mumbo trailed off, making it seem awkward. Grian didn't smile, instead opting to walk closer to Mumbo, and place his pickaxe to Mumbo's throat. He chuckled, sending shivers of fear through Mumbo's spine.

"Oh Mumbo... I know that I'm a red name. Now, I have an offer; Do you want to join me?" Grian smiled, his eyes still never leaving Mumbo's. Mumbo frantically looked around in hopes to find anyone else, but there was no one around. Only him and Grian.

"Uhm-" He stuttered, before regaining his ability to speak. "Grian, I'm on two lives. I can't bear to lose another life... These lives are precious, you know, once you lose them all then you're out-" Mumbo got cut off and Grian pressed the pickaxe deeper into Mumbo's throat, causing small beads of blood to appear. He didn't properly answer Grian's question. Stepping back, Grian took the pickaxe off Mumbo's throat and walked away, before stopping.

"You know, there's a way we can still be friends Mumbo." Grian started.

"Yeah?" Mumbo asked, still uncertain.

Grian's pickaxe slammed into the bridge that they were both on, pieces falling to the ground below. There was now a gaping hole in the middle of the bridge.

"You can join me. YOU CAN JOIN ME!" Grian yelled, continuing to break pieces of the bridge, widening the hole.

"Uhhh, dude, dude-" Mumbo frantically back away more. Grian dropped to his knees, tears starting to fill his red eyes.

"We can still be friends! We can still be friends Mumbo!" He cried. Looking up, we saw Mumbo trying to get away from him, and his rage was gone, just as fast as it appeared. Standing up, Grian replaced the broken slabs, and started to walk away.

"I'm sorry Mumbo, I really am.." Grian muttered before heading down the ladder, leaving a scared and traumatized Mumbo alone.

[----------]

Grian appeared back in the overworld, dropping to his knees.

He had tried to kill Mumbo, and take away one of Mumbo's lives.

He almost betrayed Mumbo, one of his closest allies and friends.

Hugging his knees to his chest, tears started to fill Grian's eyes once more as he let them freely spill.

"What have I done?"

"Mumbo, I'm sorry.."

"I'm so sorry Mumbo...."
